yea i refreshed it like 10 times but nothing happens...i think its because im using windows 7...should i try on a xp pc?

You can also try unrevoked3, that gets you su permissions then do toasts part 2 then use whiteslacks "how to start over method. Seems the long way around but you can usually avoid the problems simpleroot seems to cause some people.

Also when or if i try to run the PC36IMG.zip it says "older version" and it asks to reboot the phone.

They are easy to find, just run a forum search, use advanced search then forum title only, i dont have the links in front of me i would have to search for them too, you can also try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835
This will only work if you have su permissions though. give it a try and let me know how it works. You can also pm me if you like so i can find out exactl where you are in the process.

ok guys good news...i tried the OTA simpleroot on the xp pc and everything went perfectly without any error, my phone is currently updating files in bootloader as we speak, but i have a question how do i user RA recovery instead of clockwork? does it matter or make a difference? or should i just leave clockwork and load a custom rom

personal preference really, i use Ra, just boot to recovery then flash away, either one is good, some say clockwork does not completely wipe ... I havent had any problems with either personally.

I had problems loading DC 3.2.X with clockwork... but ROM manager needs clockwork and is amazing

[Q] I give up :(, Problem with permissions.

First of all Hello everyone.
So today i decided to root my Mytouch Slide.
- I have used the method on theunlockr.com
- Successfully rooted my phone and had super user app in menu.
- I decided to put Slide MR1 custom rom, so i went to clockworks and installed the rom.
- After rom was installed phone would boot loop, so i read that eng-build is needed to get this working ( Not sure if i am right )
- So i followed this guide: ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703076
- Anyways i got to this point: "/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/mtd0.img" and now i get error message saying "error writing misc: Permission denied"
Is there anyway i can make my phone functional again, preferably with custom rom ?
Thanks for help.

Have you tried doing it as su in terminal emulator on the phone?

Ok i managed to unbrick my phone using ESPRIMG rom.
Is there any custom rom that doesnt require eng-build to be preinstalled ?
I tried Wes rom but it got stuck on boot loop also.
Thank you

Maybe if you posted in the right section you'd get an answer. Don't be afraid to reread the directions and try again.

To perform the function it requires that you first call
Su (superuser permissions)
And then
Chmod 04755 *
Edit: btw the method on unlockr is eugenes first method with loop excluded for whatever reason using an update.zip with su and superuser.apk included which euegene also posted so I don't see why your having trouble with xda devs methods.

you didnt unbrick it cus it wasnt bricked. if it was, you wouldnt have been able to unbrick it...plus the slide is almost impossible to brick, because it has a locked bootloader

none of them require the eng build, but if you dont flash the eng build you will have to redo the entire root process EVERY time you flash anything...

I am sorry for bad terminology.
Please move the topic if possible, i am sorry i made it in wrong place i was in rush.
Why does every rom i install boot loops then, maybe i am missing something.
Thank you
EDIT:
So after installing ESPRIMG i decided i will try to put custom rom on my phone again.
I went to recovery mode and surprisingly clockwork worked without connecting it to my pc and doing "adb" stuff.
-Does that mean eng-build went through, or my phone is rooted ?
From clockworks i installed slidemeroot 5r1 and it works !
Now my question is am i all set or do i need to install radio update etc ?
Thanks

Your radio has been downgraded. ChiefzReloaded made a new thread on here today with an updated radio. You can flash that update.

What does the downgraded radio affect, and how to check which version i have ?
Thanks guys you are really helpful.

settings > about phone > software information
listed under 'baseband version' after the _
the updated version tmo just sent out is 7.09.35.10

Since you just rooted and are asking questions about the radio kinda tells me you probably dont have the latest radio. Just go to the link by CR and download it. Put it on your sd card and flash it through clockwork recovery. Its that easy.

To answer your question though, the downgraded radio will yield shorter battery life and less signal strength. It's a considerable difference between the different radios. More because of signal strength than anything.

I had problems with boot loops and it endeed up being remnants of a ext4 partition on my sdcard (from when it was in my G1). Have you had your card partitioned before?

When using unrevoked, every time it turns on, do not touch a thing on the phone. It happened to me when I was rooting and I opened a menu between boots and failed due to same error. I tried again without touching anything and it worked.

Issues Restoring Stock Rom on my Device

Hi everyone,
as my username suggest I'm a noob of the worst kind!:good:
My problem is that somehow I managed to root my phone (on htc dev)
and without backing up anything I installed
cm-7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-marvel
Now, this rom is great but..
-I'm having issues with the gps navi (I already looked into it
and instelled a fix)/(which is not that bad I can live with what it is right now but still sometimes gps freaks out and gives wrong infos)
-the youtube apk don't work (and youtube mobile too)
-the quality of the videocam shoots is not the best..
so, like a proper noob I decided to go back the the stock rom
just to find out is not easy at all!!
I followed so many tutorials on the xda site (always failing)
and now I'm tring to make a last SOS before moving to a new phone
I love my wildfire and it would be so sad to abandon it,
so
since I keep failing I though that I might be ignoring some major issue that i don't even know!
so giving you my specifics might be the right way
to understeand what direction I should follow to install the stock rom
here's my data
Wildfire S UMTS S-ON
Android 2.3.7
CM 7.20120616
MARVEL PVT SHIP SON RL
H BOOT - 1.09.0099
RADIO7.57.39.10
thanks for the time guys!cheers

I'm assuming you have the HTC Wildfire S A510e.
Try the cm7 ROM from this link http://d-h.st/mwM
The original thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226765&page=189
This is supposed to have a fix for youtube. You'll still need to flash the d33ps1x gps fix. And if you still don't like the cm7 and want to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325730
Scroll down to stock ROMs and pick the one that is suitable for you. Otherwise, if you still have the RUU*.exe from Unlocking the Bootloader, try that. It should work.

thanks, Im gonna try this

So I installed the CM ROM u seggested and everything seems smooth and nice,
the only problem I'm having is that the google app pack will install normally but nothing comes up when rebooting the rom, is there any specific pack i should use?

[Q] HTC Wildfire youtube problem; specs inside

HTC Wildfire a3333
Android version 2.2.1
Build number 2.22.405.1
Browser version 3.1
Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g0f9e9bs
I have a problem with youtube not working i get an error message "ATTENTION There is no network connection right now. Please try again later." I can't access youtube via the app or through google. I believe the app is pre installed as the option to uninstall the app is grayed out.
Thought of a great plan to root my phone to uninstall the app and then reinstall. I don't know what im doing i d/l'd Kingo root, ticked the box for debugging mode but can't find the S-on option to turn off.
In summary i just need to get youtube working again the above is how far i have got but couldn't say if im in the right direction so need guidance.
Thanks guys.

Hi, welcome to the forums have you tried deleting the apps data from settings/apps/YouTube? And have you tried using WiFi?
If you want to root you will probably need to use revolutionary to gain s-off. Just follow the guides in the general section and the wildfire index from the dev section

I might just be a little tired but im not finding this as easy to navigate as other forums, could you direct link me to the links you mentioned.
The uninstall icon has been grayed out so it won't allow me to.
Thanks so far though

Got to the S-OFF instructions where it tells me to download a program to help with back dating my phone. Only maybe my anti-virus has drawn up a false positive but its saying its a trojan horse virus.
Possible the site could have been infected?
Also, i don't have a microSD card so do i skip the step or is there something else to it?

EDIT.

OK, this is not the thread I thought it was. What specifically is coming up as a trojan horse?
If it is anything it will be psneuter, which is a false positive.
Can you boot into hboot and tell me what version you have? ( power off fully and then power back on using volume down and power at the same time. The screen with show a bunch of numbers on a background you will probably not have seen before, tell me them. Battery pull and then reboot with power button to return to normal)
Also a SD card is mandatory, for the whole process, no sdcard - no s-off pal.

Congratulations download an app called root uninstaller. Use it to uninstall YouTube and then redownload from then play store if that still doesn't help try flashing cyanogenmod 7 and gapps and see if that improves any. Remember to make a nandroid back up from your custom recovery, as if anything goes wrong it is a life saver

Ok watch this video for making a back-up, remember that when you are in the recovery you need to use the trackball to select and push it in to confirm. just do as i do
then download this CM7 and this gapps.
then place the onto your sdcard in whatever way you prefer and reboot back into recovery.
then watch this video
and that will be you sorted pal

Heavy metal you been an absolute star, the only guy bothering to help me out with this. Managed to root my phone and got me interested in making customisation to it in the future, il probably start with the background as it looks boring :good: Also sorting out a backup is a true necessity anyways and the vids a time saver.
However what i have just found out to my dismay would be that youtube doesn't send for updates automatically and doesn't tell you about it when you really need to either. So it wasn't a bug at all. On the plus side i have a root software, back up and an sd card...:victory:
Signing off til the next time my phone stops working.

I'm glad your all sorted out pal I've found that this wildfire forum in its day was a hive of activity with plenty of people dev'ing and helping each other out, but as she gets older the people leave. I'm happy to help out here as this is where I was helped first and show the kindness to combat my noob questions. Also a funny thing is that I only found xda and this forum and started all my interest in YouTube was because my wildfire had issues with the YouTube app on froyo!

I think that Google has dropped support for the froyo version of android. Which means that you must either s-off your phone and flash a custom ROM on gingerbread or higher (guides in the general section) or buy a new device that has a newer android version. Or keep using it via web browser pal.
